The Management of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka, Anambra State, has stated that the Acting Vice Chancellor of the institution, Prof. Joseph Ikechebelu, remains in office.

Reacting to the replacement of Acting VC Prof. Joseph Ikechebelu with Prof. Mrs. Carol Umobi, the management of the university said the council meeting ended without any resolution. Hence, the internal and external members, as well as the Pro-Chancellor/Chairman of the council, Amb. Greg Mbadiwe, walked out when a strenuous document purported to be a decision of the Senate was read.

In a statement released and signed by the Acting Registrar of the university, Samuel N. Ujoh, it was stated that the council meeting ended without a decision, and the status quo ante remains.

The letter reads:

“The 9th emergency meeting of the Governing Council of Nnamdi Azikiwe University ended inconclusively.

At the 9th emergency meeting of the 10th Governing Council held on 20th July 2024, the Pro-Chancellor/Chairman of the council, Amb. Greg Mbadiwe, read out a letter purported to have emanated from the University Senate and claimed to be signed by 24 members of the Senate in attendance.

The purported letter was signed by Prof. Stan Udedi as the chairman and Prof. Eric Ofoedu as the Secretary. During the meeting, the internal members of the council objected to the letter as emanating from the Senate, since the Senate will hold on 24th July 2024, according to the advertised Senate meeting.

The controversy that emanated from the purported letter resulted in the Pro-Chancellor/Chairman of the council and external members of the council walking out of the meeting. Thus, the meeting ended without a decision, and the status quo ante remained.”
